Our Partners
We are proud to be in partnership with both the University of Worcester and Strode College of Further Education.
University of Worcester
The University currently validates three of our programmes here at the Iron Mill, which includes the MA Dramatherapy, MA Supervision and the MA Executive, Business and Life Coaching. These programmes are part of the portfolio within the Institute of Health and Society, a department within the University. The department make frequent visits to the Iron Mill site to meet the students and monitor the delivery of the MA programmes.
"The University of Worcester offers excellent courses and flexible study options, supported by high quality staff and first class, modern learning resources."
Professor David Green Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive
New Students, New Opportunities
Worcester leads the way in welcoming a wide range of students and offering truly useful courses. We promote lifelong learning- many of our students are mature students studying for professional and/or postgraduate qualifications. We are renowned for helping students with ability and commitment to achieve to their potential. Strong links with firms and organisations in the business, creative, education and health communities in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and the surrounding areas, complement our vocational courses. We help students achieve more.
A Happy Medium
News of the first class quality of a Worcester education is growing worldwide and has led to fast increasing numbers of students from Africa, South Asia, China and North America in particular, as well as from throughout Britain and Europe. We are big enough to offer a good range of courses and options but small enough to be concerned about each and every individual student and member of staff.
Strode College of Further Education
http://www.strode-college.ac.uk/
Strode College is based in Street, Somerset and currently provides a small amount of funding for each of our Counselling students. In turn this students gain access to the College online facilities and can also qualify for NUS cards. The College carefully monitor the quality of our delivery and make several visits a year to ensure our students are getting the best training and facilities possible.
The college’s mission is to provide high standards of education within an inclusive and supportive environment.
The last few years have been an exciting time for the College. In February 2004 the Department for Education and Skills awarded Beacon Status to the College making Strode one of a handful of colleges nationally to be given this recognition. We are very proud of this achievement.
There are modern learning environments with up to date information and communications technology. Strode is a place where you will meet new friends and broaden your horizons.
We are creating a world class learning environment for our students. Over recent years we have completed an £11m investment in new teaching and learning facilities. Our latest building for humanities and social sciences subjects opened in September 2007. New sports facilities including a floodlit All Weather Pitch opened in April 2008.
